Well Baddog I happen to be a manager at Autozone so I ended up getting the DLG battery for $34.99 as a "used" battery. It's only a few months old so even if it only lasts 2.5 years it would still be worth the money I paid for it haha.

I guess you could say I skimped out on the Optima :/ - They are awesome batteries but I just didn't want to pay full price lol.
